[ Because, honestly, the last thing they need is alcohol poisoning becoming a thing here, okay. Also, she's learned from accidental experience that hang overs are not a fun situation to be in. ]
...It's not just the boys this time, you know. [ Since she knows that Damien's noticed, too. She's not sure how well he knows -- knew Haru or Yoshizawa, or if he'd even met them, but. ] The two girls from our world aren't here anymore, either. I went to check on them but...
[ She glances off to the side and chews on her lower lip for a few seconds. ]
...I haven't given up hope just yet, and I'm not going to stop looking. But I don't... think they're coming back this time. It feels different.

[doubly so when she mentions the girls having gone home, too. he didn't know Haru, but -- ] Yoshizawa's gone? [ -- there goes his best hope of having his leg fixed. well, he supposes, now, that desperate times call for desperate measures. he has something in mind on that front, but he'd been sitting on it, trying to perfect it] Shame. [a beat] Sweet girl.
[that was totally his only interest, yep]

[ Not really. Mostly. She's got mixed feelings about it even though she knows Ren wouldn't willingly leave her here. ]
Admittedly, I didn't really know Yoshizawa-san that well. We got to work together a few times at home... we went to the same school briefly, too. But she was a very sweet girl. Is? She is. She's not here, not... dead.
[ She hopes. She's almost positive, at least. The last time, Ren and Akechi had gone home, so that's where she'd like to think they all went back to. ]

[he, on the other hand, means that. it was bad enough, when everyone started moving out of the Merlaut, for all that that space is his by virtue of being from his world. the fact that Ren and Akechi disappeared after the former told him he wasn't alone and he confessed to the latter that he viewed him as a sort of son? well, it stings. more than]
[he's just -- going to have a mouthful of his wine, now, thanks]
[when he lowers the glass again, it's on a heavy breath out] At least you'll see them again, sooner or later. [he never will. not unless this place decides to pull them back]
no subject
[ She knows that he was close to Ren and Akechi, at least. Especially so with Akechi, although she didn't talk to Akechi enough to really know just how close. But she knows enough to know that Damien is fond of him, and she's glad that at least for a brief period, Goro had had somewhat of a parental figure to lean against. He never got to have that at home, so... it's good, she thinks, that he had some sort of normalcy here. ]
Yeah... but maybe we all will. Who knows what this place is gonna do next? For all we know, it's going to link us all together one way or another. [ Nothing would surprise her after the shit she's seen at home AND here. Plus, that's not entirely a BAD thought; it'd be nice to be able to visit extended friends and family... if that could be a possibility. ]
